After an afternoon full of cold temperatures and quite average darts at the
UK Open, van Gerwen and co will hope to set the pulses racing. Mighty Mike will play Jeffrey de Zwaan.
Peter Wright the current champion will play the Irish youngster Nathan Rafferty. A potential cracker between Daryl Gurney and Jelle Klaasen is also up there as one of the ties of the round.
Adrian Lewis will play Dirk van Duijvenbode and Steve Beaton will play Jermaine Wattimena in two fast paced clashes. Jamie Hughes is the lucky recipient of a bye through to the 4th round and so will come into the fray at the UK Open tomorrow.
